Natural Factors Micronized Fermented L-Glutamine 5 g - Unflavoured (450 g)

Natural Factors Micronized Fermented L-Glutamine is pure L-glutamine powder, 5 g to a scoop, in a 450 g tub. Helps to assist in muscle cell repair after exercise. It is unflavoured, so it disappears into water or a shake.

What Micronized Fermented L-Glutamine is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80036660. The licence also lists:

• Helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress (e.g. prolonged exhaustive exercise).
• Helps support digestive system health after periods of physical stress.
• Helps support immune system health after periods of physical stress.

What is in each scoop

There is one ingredient: 5 g of L-glutamine, a free-form amino acid. It is made by fermentation, then micronized, which means it is milled to a very fine particle size so it mixes smoothly instead of sitting at the bottom of the glass.

Glutamine is the most plentiful free amino acid in the body and is found in high-protein foods such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy. Natural Factors describes this powder as pharmaceutical grade and has it third-party tested by ISURA.

No flavours, sweeteners or fillers are added. The powder is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

How to take it

Adults take 1 scoop (5 g), or 1 heaping teaspoon, once a day. Stir it into water, juice or your usual protein shake; many people take it after training. Ask a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of the reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.

How it compares

The 450 g tub holds about 90 scoops, three months at one a day. A 300 g tub of the same powder holds about 60. Natural Factors also sells L-glutamine as 500 mg capsules, but at 5 g per serving the powder is the practical choice for a full daily amount, since it would take ten capsules to match one scoop.

Who it suits

Adults who train hard or for long sessions, endurance athletes, and anyone who wants a single-ingredient glutamine they can add to a drink they already have.
